So, Allied Assault turned 10 last weekend, and this weekend Planet Medal of Honor turns 10. So in honor of both, we're playing Allied Assault all weekend.

Below are the servers we'll be using and what's going to be going on.

So first off starting at 12:00pm PST Saturday I'll be streaming MOHAA SP at http://www.twitch.tv/dontcallmekelso. So click to watch, I'll be talking while I play, maybe answer some questions, maybe give something away.

In every Battlefield 3 case is a tease, just like Medal of Honor teased Battlefield 3, it's come full circle. Except, this time, if you go to MedalofHonor.com you find out a little bit more.

Once logged in, you'll be greeted by a message from Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, explaining how Danger Close Games has been busy working on the next Medal of Honor, and that they aren't ready to discuss what the mysterious new Unit Patch is for.

Since the build up for Battlefield 3 is happening and the Beta is coming up in September, I thought it would be a good idea to ask EA a little about how if you own Medal of Honor: LE, what you should do.

Q1: So with all the recent BF3 Alpha testing news, some are wondering about the upcoming beta. If someone had bought Medal of Honor:LE with the beta invite inside, when would they start hearing about the BF3 Beta?

A1:The Open Beta will start in September. The exact date for when Medal of Honor: Limited Edition players can join the Beta will be announced at a later date.

Q2: Is there anything that those with the Medal of Honor:LE should do in preparation for the beta in September? For instance register their game at www.ea.com or gunclub.ea.com?

A2: If you purchased a copy of Medal of Honor with the Battlefield 3 Beta sticker on it, you are eligible for the Beta. If you have not received the newsletter, make sure you opt in on your EA Profile to receive them. Also, if you haven´t received the newsletter and own a copy of Medal of Honor: Limited edition, you are eligible to play in the beta.*
*Not second-hand copies

You can also check out some more questions and answers about the Battlefield 3 Alpha and Beta at the Battlefield Blog.

Want to say thanks to @Seeson for taking some time to answer my questions about the Medal of Honor: LE, the BF3 Beta, and You!

We are excited to announce the launching of our latest Community site, L.A. Noire Precinct, that covers the newly released game by Rockstar. So please take a moment to drop by and see what is going on over at the Precinct. While there be sure to check out the L.A. Noire Wiki section for all your needs. There will also be extensive guides, screenshots and editorials. Check it out!

Today, Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer at Danger Close, announced on the Medal of Honor Blog that they are in fact working on the sequel to Medal of Honor.

Yes, Danger Close is currently working on the next Medal of Honor.

Just recently, EA announced that the reboot of Medal of Honor was a big success with over 5 million copies sold. We wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for supporting us, our new studio and our storied franchise. We would especially like to thank all of the long time Medal of Honor fans out there who have stuck with us over the years.

Since our launch last October, we've studied, listened and absorbed much of your feedback and are very excited to be marching forward on the next title. We can't wait to tell you more about it, so check back often to the website and the fan page on Facebook.

As you all know, our goal was to tell the story of today's soldier and to do so with the utmost respect and reverence. We’ve received many letters, emails and messages from active servicemen and women from around the world, along with veterans and their families, with appreciation for our recent depiction of their community. I can't tell you how important this is to everyone here at Danger Close Games. You are the heartbeat of this team and this franchise and we are privileged and honored to tell your story. Medal of Honor has always been fueled by the passion of our fans and the commitment and sacrifice shown by the men and women of our armed services.

It's going to be a fun ride for the Medal of Honor franchise. We are happy to have you aboard.

That's right, today is Planet Medal of Honor's 9th birthday! It's been a good long 9 years! Today also marks my 2 years with Planet Medal of Honor after Matthew Pruitt, the site's father, went off to work for EA. And speaking of Matt, it's his Birthday today too, so if you can, wish him a happy one!

Thanks to all of you who have frequented the site, and I hope this year brings more awesomeness!

Well nothing has officially been said whether or not Danger Close Games is making a second Medal of Honor, a job listing on the EA Jobs Site makes reference to the development of a new game, could it be Medal of Honor 2?

Here's what the job listing says:

Level Designer, Danger Close Team

Danger Close needs fire support. Danger Close Games, an innovative new studio within Electronic Arts, has one goal: make the best shooters in the market. Having recently released the successful reboot of “Medal of Honor,” Danger Close Games is looking for exceptional individuals to fill out its team of world class designers, engineers and artists.

Do you want to be Danger Close?

Position Summary:
EA Los Angeles is looking for an experienced Level Designer to work on an unannounced First Person Shooter game with strong multiplayer focus. The Level Designers play a very important role in game development, creating memorable environments and gameplay elements to satisfy an increasing sophisticated and widening games audience. They need to be inventive and understand the design factors that contribute to an entertaining and absorbing gameplay experience. The Level Designer will be working from the overall game design documentation, designing a portion of the game specifying all the possible actions and gameplay events that take place within that level. The Level Designer will also design the level environment, including locations and general layout of the spaces within the level, contributing thoughts about visuals (e. g. lighting, textures, and forms), the characters and objects involved, and specific behaviors associated with the characters and objects.

•Carry a multiplayer level from the first ideas and pen to paper concepts through playtesting and to the release of one of the largest first person shooter titles of the year.

You read right, "Utilize cutting edge Frostbite 2 tool set..."

Could Medal of Honor 2 be using Frostbite 2? Could it be in development so shortly after Medal of Honor came out? Or is Danger Close working on a new title or IP?

We haven't heard any real Medal of Honor news since before the New Year, so maybe they are.

A press release from earlier today has got me a bit worried. $10 for one gamemode and 2 maps? Personally, that's $10 too much for something that should have been in the game already... Here's the press release:
